C++ is rapidly becoming the programming language of choice for science and engineering applications because of its rich object-oriented features. Intended for beginning and intermediate programmers, this book surveys the application of C++ to technical problems. Modern object-oriented software engineering tools are employed to simplify the presentation and all aspects of modern C++ programming practices of relevance to scientific programming are surveyed.
- Comprehensive presentation of all C++ language features of relevance to scientific programming
- Many innovatively structured scientific programming problems cover all standard examples
- Features material from a wide range of topics in object oriented and scientific programming not found elsewhere
- Well supported: free programming and graphics tool included on CD in book, solutions to exercises available from [email protected]
Reviews & endorsements
"A great first programming book for computational science courses, as well as a solid resource for experienced scientific programmers."
>Choice
"Physical Science and engineering students who are either very diligent or have some background in programming could learn C++ very well from Yeveck's text."
Jan Tobochnik, Physics Today
"The best feature of the book is its good and concise description of the C++ language. The book would be a good fit for instructors who prefer to teach programming in detail. This would be the ideal text for the student who is considering a career in scientific programming, and wants to learn C++ very proficiently."
American Journal of Physics
"The book covers a reasonably broad range of topics, including brief discussion of computer and software structure, object-oriented programming..."
David P. Maroun for Physics in Canada
